We are always looking for ways of improving our school and our class teachers are always happy to talk through any queries, suggestions or concerns you may have. We want our children to be safe, happy and learning – if you feel we are not achieving this, we need to know as soon as possible, so that we can put things right!

If your child’s class teacher is busy with children in the mornings / at the end of the day, or you are unable to be here before or after school, you can always contact Miss McFarlane in the School Office and she will ensure that your child’s class teacher sets time aside to speak with you at your earliest possible convenience – either in person or by telephone - so that any queries or concerns can be resolved quickly and effectively.

However, we also know that some challenges and opportunities need to be discussed in greater detail and have recently set up a new Parents’ Forum to do just this.

Purpose
The purpose of the Parents’ Forum is to provide parents with regular opportunities to discuss school issues and procedures with the Head teacher and to support the school’s Leadership Team and Governing Body in making changes that will benefit families within our community.

Meetings
These take place once a half term in school time and are currently focussed around the issue of developing information-sharing between school and home, particularly for new families arriving through the school year. Members of the group also act as parent class representatives.

The school now has an after school childcare facility, which runs 3.15-6pm in term times (web page coming soon).

The school has published a parent-friendly version of its Curriculum and Enrichment plan for 2013-14, which is now also available on the school’s website, on the Class Pages home page (click here).

The school now has a thriving parent-staff group - The Friends of Wyton – which both raises money for the school and organises a variety of social events for the school community, as well as providing support for pupil events such as Sports Day and our annual KS1 and 2 Productions (click here).

Class pages have been updated and reformatted to provide a ‘one-stop shop’ for class information, including the class termly newsletter and links to useful websites for parents. To see what is available, visit the page and click on your child’s classroom door. Click here to visit the Class Information pages.

The school website now has a section for families who will be joining the school to introduce them to some of the people and procedures they will encounter when they start at Wyton on the Hill Primary School (click here).

Mr Tuxworth and Miss Watson have worked with the pupils in their Computer Club to produce a set of lively and interactive Children’s Pages to encourage pupils and parents to visit the school website for information more often (click here).

The school’s approach to fundraising for school projects has been reviewed, with displays going up around the school and a web page to keep pupils and parents informed of their progress towards targets set (click here).

The school website now has an information section for parents on ‘Staying Safe and Well’, which has been produced in partnership with the Parents’ Forum (click here to view).

The last day of each term has been designated a non-school uniform day, to enable parents who are going away the opportunity to prepare school uniform ready for their child’s return to school before they go.

As a result of discussions held in the summer term, the school now has a Facebook page (click here to connect).

Private piano, flute, clarinet and trumpet lessons are available on Fridays after school – for both pupils and parents!

Wyton on the Hill Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
